If you had a $1,000,000,000; gun shopping spree - Dumbest Thread Ever

Sounds painful.
I've thought about it some more but there's nothing made in the last 50 or so years that truly excites me. Granted I have newer stuff, but it's more for the utilitarian aspect than collectible. I'd much rather be the anonymous individual with the most comprehensive collection of historically significant firearms ever compiled. Guessing $1B would do it. Maybe keep back a few grand in case I need to upgrade my vehicle.

all seriousness, all that money can’t buy happiness. Working hard to buy a sweet 1911 and finally getting it! shooting and cleaning it! THAT’s happiness!

Serious question —- any muti-millionaire here?

How much more happiness did $$$$ bring you?
 
I,d buy a new house with land in a location I could shoot on my own range. Then I would buy my family and friends their grail gun or give them a chunk of change to buy ammo or accessories if they didn;t want another gun. I'd love to win one of those Mega jackpots and be a secret Santa and pay off people bills, mortgage, get them a new car ect. Something that would really help that individual or family. I think that would be a great use.
 
Wealth doesn't buy happiness.
Grandpa Albert owned and farmed most of the land between Downey and Long Beach, California on both sides of the L. A. River.
He also struck oil on Signal Hill.
Grandma blew most of the money on lawyers after killing off most of her in-laws while they were arguing over who was going to take away her money,
(Note: don't force someone that you are trying to rob to cook your lunch,,, ,)
We took care of Grandma in her old age - but we didn't eat her cooking.
-All that I got from Grandpa's wealth was an old watch that didn't work.

With gold bullets, would you mine the berm after shooting a case of ammo?

Sparkly diamond front sight, maybe backlit by tritium night sights.
 
When I get a billion dollars, I’ll organize a no fee gun show and won’t care if I lose my shorts :) and I’ll let everyone on THR know to show up for the amazing deals.:cool:

After all, I’d have a lot of guns I don’t want that I’d be more than happy to sell. Only trades I’d be interested in would be made out of meteorites, 500 or less in existence, shoots more than one round with a single pull of the trigger or previously owned by a famous good guy. And for all you looky loos, I know what I’ve got.

ETA: And tanks...I'd trade for tanks. The kind that hold 75mm, 88mm, 105mm and 120mm cannons, not the kind that hold liquids.

In your post about buying low cost guns, I got to thinking how much would it cost to buy one of everything. Not necessarily spending a billion on guns. That would just be crazy!:) If you had a billion dollars, I think you could buy one of everything, and it would just be a drop in the bucket.

One of EACH?:what: Some are too oogley to even consider!:D I'd buy a small nation, declare war on the U.S. loose, then sit back and collect Foreign Aid! :evil:
 
Private mile range of my own. Probably invest some of it in… a shooting related business. D02ADE17-8A02-4F62-B79D-1AA904DF37AD.jpeg Guarantee one of these at least will be found in my new underground vault

Had to read that twice--you mean "Conch."

And now I want a Conch po-boy in the worst way (not bad enough to fly to Key West, but dang close)
Not that I'd say no to a basket of conch fritters and onion rings.

been there 3 times and never tried the conch! but I’ve eaten TONS on conch growing up!
 
I'm a very rich man. Its just that I don't have a lot of money. I've a 100 mtr rifle range in my back garden, deer in the forest I can shoot as many as I want, if I wanted too. If I did have lots of dosh I would be shooting driven boar at least twice a week all over Europe with a few days driven game bird shooting. Got all the guns I need. As my dear old father ,now long dead said, Buy quality not quantity.

I'd get my shoulders fixed. Then the knee's, eye's and anything else to gain back shooting comfort. Just in time for the fates to pull their crap and I die from a suspiciously sudden stroke / aneurism. lol
